To replace the timing belt on a Seat Leon, lift the car with a jack or ramp so you can loosen the bolts securing the front right wheel: once this is removed, you can detach the inner cover of the wheel arch and access the crankshaft pulley. By loosening the tensioner, you can remove the belt itself, detaching it from the camshaft pulley at the top of the engine: this way, you can fit the new one, ensuring everything functions correctly.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
